7 Bold Predictions for San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Playoffs

Making the NBA playoffs has become an annual tradition for the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs will, of course, make the playoffs again this year, since they do hold the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and all, but before the postseason starts, it is always fun to come up with some bold predictions.

Although many people overlook the Spurs, they are still one of the best teams in the NBA.

How far will the Spurs go this year though?

Read on to find out seven bold predictions for San Antonio in the playoffs, that will answer that question.

4. San Antonio Will Average the Most Points Per Game

Yes, the Spurs are the second-highest team in the league in points per game, with 103.2, but you have to remember that teams step up their game tremendously in the playoffs. That is kind of what the NBA playoffs are known for.

With that said, there will be teams in the playoffs, like Denver, Oklahoma City and Miami. All three of these teams have lethal offenses.

3. Tony Parker Will Average 9 or More Assists Per Game

Tony Parker is one of the best point guards in the game and his 7.7 assists per game this year is proof of that.

This is, of course, a career-high for Parker, and his career numbers in assists will carry on into the playoffs.

San Antonio is obviously stacked, especially on offense. The more points that the Spurs score, means the more assists Parker will have, since he is the field general for this team and all. It is a pretty simply concept.

1. San Antonio Will Make the NBA Finals

This slide may be going off a little bit from the last one, but there is no guarantee that the Spurs will play the Thunder.

However, that is a likely matchup, and if San Antonio did beat Oklahoma City then the Spurs would obviously make the NBA Finals, since this series would take place in the Western Conference Finals and all.

San Antonio is led by the original "Big 3" of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. These three players have arguably the best chemistry in the NBA to this day. It is kind of hard to argue that when the Spurs have the best record in the league and all.

Whether the case, these three players can still ball and they will prove that by making the NBA Finals this year.
